    <description> Everyone has had times in thier life where their not so sure how they are going to survive. They may have negative after negative things happen in their life, things that drag them further down everyday. This is why my family needs your help. Ever since my husband joined the army, things keep going from worse to even unbearable. We have been between a rock in a hard place so long, that it's become confertable. We have maxed out every source of help, and now calling out to the public. I can go on forever with the things in my life stressing us out, but I'll save my emotions for another day. 

     The story in short starts one year ago. After my husband and I where married we decied to move our family out of state to be closer to my mother while my father was serving in Iraq. We saved up enough money to last us 3 months, hoping we would get jobs by that time. Of couse that didnt happen. I was pregnant, so no one would offer me a job. My husband couldnt find anything above $7.50 an hour or part-time. So we borrowed money from friends and family. When we were totally lost, my husband decieded to join the army. The army packed  up our house and moved our household things to Kansas, but they dont help pay for moving your family, paying for a hotel, deposit or first months rent. Yes they do re-emburse you some, but by that time you need the money just to pay the bills you couldnt pay earlier. We couldnt get accepted to an affordable apartment, so now we're stuck in one we can barely afford. After this my credit card went past due, yes I only have one, but its a $7000 balance. So they upped my interested and started charging late fees. Of course we couldnt afford the new monthly payments, so its been charged off and is now at an attorney's office. We had to buy a new car before moving to Kansas, because we didnt own one. Well 90 days to the T the car died on us, and it cost us $1200 to fix. Again bills were put to the side and we could barely feed our kids. Just 2 weeks after that we were in a car accident, both parties were placed at fault, so we have to now come up with $500 to pay to have our car back. I tried to find a job, but I would pay more in daycare, then I would earn. I took on a local paper rout so I could take my kids with me, but it turns out I pay more in gas then I make doing the rout. I tried to quit it, but they say I'm under a 30 day contract so now I'm stuck doing it and losing money. 

     As you can see things just dont seem to be going our way, if you could help us with making monetary donations it would be greatly appriciated and put to good use. This is not a scam, and the story is completely true. Every penny is appriciated. Thank You
